I could say more about this comic. I could talk about how it's no surprise that Tony isn't delegating combat missions; I could talk about Maya Hansen, who is so clearly going to be trouble somewhere down the line (I don't buy for a minute that she will ever give up on Extremis); I could talk about the fun I anticipate watching Sal Kennedy and Dum-Dum Dugan interact in the issues to come.
But really there was just one thing that caught my eye in a big way here.
Now, I've never been in the military. All I know about the military is what I see in the mass media, really. And some of the changes Stark implements seem reasonable--the suggestion box, for one. Others, however...
::takes deep breath::
OMFG a daycare center on the SHIELD Helicarrier?
Even if (as Sal says) "the day care center's only open when we're in port. We chopper the rug-rats off-board the minute we activate," that's really not what I'd consider safe.
What possible guarantee is there that the Helicarrier won't be attacked while it's in port?
And even if that never happens, it still reduces mission response time if the ship can't leave port until the kids are removed.
This just seems like a bad idea all around. Maybe set something up on the ground, but on the ship? Good gods, what was Tony thinking?

while I'm not american so I don't know how the american army works,
in the army I was a suggestion box isn't really such an improvement as there was already a way to complain about little things, and giving a good serious suggestion actually got you paid.
as for the daycare thing, well in my opinion thats a nightmare waiting to happen, and a bad idea overall.
besides the obvious safety of the children and the insane delay in reaction speed (imagine what would happen if one of the kids gets lost during an evacuation) issues, there are issues about field security - nothing like a kid that got a new camera for his birthday and started to take pictures in the helicarrier as a security breach, and other problems like wasted space.
Too many reruns of Star Trek: The Next Generation, maybe?
